524.1009 Succession to fiduciary accounts and appointments — application for appointment of new fiduciary.
1. If a party to a plan of merger was authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity and if the resulting state or national bank is similarly authorized, the resulting state or national bank shall be automatically substituted by reason of the merger as fiduciary of all accounts held in that capacity by such party to the plan, without further action and without any order or decree of any court or public officer, and shall have all the rights and be subject to all the obligations of such party as fiduciary.
2. No designation, nomination, or appointment as fiduciary of a party to a plan of merger shall lapse by reason of the merger. The resulting state or national bank, if authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity, shall be entitled to act as fiduciary pursuant to each designation, nomination, or appointment to the same extent as the party to the plan so named could have acted in the absence of the merger.
3. Any person with an interest in an account held in a fiduciary capacity by a party to a plan of merger may, within sixty days after the effective date of the merger, apply to the district court in the county in which the resulting state or national bank has its principal place of business, for the appointment of a new fiduciary to replace the resulting state or national bank on the ground that the merger will adversely affect the administration of the fiduciary account. The court shall have the discretion to appoint a new fiduciary to replace the resulting state or national bank if it should find, upon hearing after notice to all interested parties, that the merger will adversely affect the administration of the fiduciary account and that the appointment of a new fiduciary will be in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the fiduciary account. This provision is in addition to any other provision of law governing the removal of fiduciaries and is subject to the terms upon which the party to the plan which held the fiduciary account was designated as fiduciary.
